Welcome to Engineering

Overview

The Faculty of Engineering on the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University, continually strives to be a training hub for high-quality, versatile and innovative engineers. We pride ourselves in world class teaching standards, a sound value system, innovative thinking and passion.

Engineers find ways to do things BETTER, FASTER and more EFFICIENT. They make life easier by adding value to and optimising available resources. They reduce manufacturing costs by designing better processes. They are the modern day MacGyvers who improve the quality of people’s lives on a continuous basis. In short, the world would be lost without them.

Computer and electronic engineers connect humans and the world we live in with the digital world. They do this by using electronics, embedded computers and the skill of programming to control mechatronic systems and to build the internet.

Electrical and Electronic Engineers enable the modern world by moving electrical energy from the source to the point of application. They focus on power systems, power conversion, power conditioning, and electrical machines.
